Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. William D. Quarles, Jr., District
Judge. (1:03-cr-00376-WDQ-1)
Submitted: August 21, 2014 Decided: August 26, 2014
Before SHEDD, AGEE, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Tariq Liyuen Adevemi Belt, Appellant Pro Se. Jane Meadowcroft
Erisman, Christopher John Romano, Assistant United States
Attorneys, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Tariq Belt appeals the district court’s orders denying
his motion for a furlough and denying his motion for
reconsideration. Belt sought a temporary release from prison
from June 5 to June 9, 2014, to enable him to attend his
daughter’s graduation and a family celebration of the event.
Because this time period has passed, this appeal is moot. See
In re Stadium Mgt. Corp., 895 F.2d 845, 847 (1st Cir. 1990)
(“Absent a stay, the court must dismiss a pending appeal as moot
because the court has no remedy that it can fashion even if it
would have determined the issues differently.”). Accordingly,
we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the
appeal. We deny Belt’s pending motions for entry of default,
for release on bail, and “for Clarification and Obtaining of the
Entire Record.” We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
